"We are being furtively nudged, on an unprecedented scale, to obey the doctrines of the world's elite."\u2014Dr Gary Sidley We welcome to the programme Dr Gary Sidley\u2014a former NHS Consultant Clinical Psychologist\u2014for an interview on the UK government's morally questionable use of "nudge" techniques during the Covid Event, the extent to which Nudge Theory is being employed more generally by government, and the serious ethical questions entailed. (Dr Sidley is a freelance writer, trainer, and blogger, who in 2013 retired as a Professional Lead/Consultant Clinical Psychologist after 33 continuous years in the NHS working in psychiatric nursing and clinical psychology. In early 2020 he became extremely concerned about the government\u2019s response to the \u2018coronavirus crisis\u2019, and began writing on the subject at his well-known Coronababble blog. Gary is a member of the Health Advisory & Recovery Team (HART) and the Smile Free campaign to lift all mask mandates. He is currently leading on a research project into the UK\u2019s deployment of behavioural science strategies during the Covid Event, and the ethical implications of the state using these methods on its own people.)
